Barbarians vs Fiji: a history of great rugby

One of the most celebrated matches ever played by the Barbarians was back in 1970 when Fiji shocked the rugby world by demolishing a star-studded Barbarians’ team containing legendary names such as Edwards, Duckham, Bennett, Slattery and JPR Williams by 29 points to nine.

Now two of the most attack-orientated teams in the game are set for a rematch.

Fiji Rugby Union chief executive officer Manasa Baravilala said: “The year 2013 marks the centenary of the game in our country and we are honoured to be invited to celebrate this landmark with another game against the famous Barbarians.

“Our great victory 40-odd years ago was a major stepping stone in enhancing Fiji’s profile. Our opponents then had some of the biggest names in the game but we had our own heroes that day like George Barley, Pio Tikoisuva, Jona Qoro and Isimeli Batibasaga who became stars overnight.

“The challenge next November is to again showcase the best of Fijian rugby and there can be no better stage than a fixture against the Barbarians.”
